O.K. O.K., I lost the new tag - so correctly it should have been:
I lost all my new tags. And because of that I cannot find the new mails in
my mutt folder - so it seems that I also lost all new mails - because they
are not taged as new anymore ... so this is quite a philosophical question -
is the loss of my new tag not also the loss of my new mail - although I can
read the mails - they have lost their "new" character ... and so the new mail
is also
lost ... o.k. I give up because it is late and maybe there is new mail in my
mutt folder (or should it be correctly: There are new tags on some mails
that seem to be new although they are old?).
